Blue stepped on the thick green moss, and it made a squelching sound. The wind blew through the tangled pipes, creating an eerie, plaintive wailing. The air was thick with the acrid smell of green liquid that had been splattered on the walls and ground. After examining the pipe, the robot bug retreated to the tiny aperture in the man’s gleaming armor. As Blue’s sharp claws protruded, he heard a low beep and saw several red temperature dots on the screen, so he hurried to another path. The sound of the dam crumbling reverberated through the air a few minutes later. The creature, hidden deep within the tunnel, quaked with rage as the loud noise reverberated through the space.

Mix of the Week #551: Matt Cowell

The sails billowed in the wind. They were all that were in control of the ship as it moved steadily forward across the stormy waters. The sky was cloudy and dense overhead, it looked as though it might soon rain.

Up on deck there were only a handful of men left watching over the course of the boat. They were the ones that had to pick up the slack as the storm hit. Together they were responsible for driving things onward and steadily through the bleak, darkness of the night to come.

It was a wicked dance this. One ship upon the wildest of waters.

Terraflow is a moniker of producer AJ Edward. This time things get dark and heavy on a new EP for Liquid Memory Records as he enters more progressive, bass driven territory and delivers to wondrous effect.

PREMIERE: Terraflow - Pick up the Slack [Liquid Memory]

Six astronauts rotate in their spacecraft contemplating the world below

A team of astronauts in the International Space Station collect meteorological data, conduct scientific experiments and test the limits of the human body. But mostly they observe. Together they watch their silent blue planet, circling it sixteen times, spinning past continents and cycling through seasons, taking in glaciers and deserts, the peaks of mountains and the swells of oceans. Endless shows of spectacular beauty witnessed in a single day.

Yet although separated from the world they cannot escape its constant pull. News reaches them of the death of a mother, and with it comes thoughts of returning home. They look on as a typhoon gathers over an island and people they love, in awe of its magnificence and fearful of its destruction.

The fragility of human life fills their conversations, their fears, their dreams. So far from earth, they have never felt more part - or protective - of it. They begin to ask, what is life without earth? What is earth without humanity?

**SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2024**

From Rachel Kushner, Booker Prize finalist and two-time National Book Award finalist, comes a new novel about a seductive and cunning American woman who infiltrates an anarchist collective in France.

'Reinvents the spy novel in one cool, erudite gesture' HERNAN DIAZ

Sadie Smith – a thirty-four-year-old American undercover agent of ruthless tactics, bold opinions and clean beauty – is sent by her mysterious but powerful employers to a remote corner of France. Her mission: to infiltrate a commune of radical eco-activists led by the charismatic svengali Bruno Lacombe.

Sadie casts her cynical eye over this region of ancient farms and sleepy villages, and at first finds Bruno’s idealism laughable – he lives in a Neanderthal cave and believes the path to enlightenment is a return to primitivism. But just as Sadie is certain she’s the seductress and puppet master of those she surveils, Bruno Lacombe is seducing her with his ingenious counter-histories, his artful laments, his own tragic story.

Beneath this parodic spy novel about a woman caught in the crossfire between the past and the future lies a profound treatise on human history. Creation Lake is Rachel Kushner’s finest achievement yet – a work of high art, high comedy and irresistible pleasure.

Creation Lake, written and read by Rachel Kushner

They were hovering above the ground, gravity was non existent in these parts and they were only buoyed down by the mechanics all around them.

Deep in the midst of space it was hard to reconcile what life was like back home. The people packed upon crowded transport, the busy offices, the weekend entertainment. Out here in the middle of nowhere there was nothing of the sort. At times it was hard to remember your own name.

Some could not even imagine it, the way beyond. Yet here they were…

The Jaffa Kid features on a new compilation, Volume 3 on Kulture Galerie showcases leftfield IDM and Electro through futuristic lenses. This cut is a spaced out, synth heavy Electro jam with raw improvisation and wandering tones.

PREMIERE: The Jaffa Kid - SH Holo [Kulture Galerie]

There were shadows everywhere, they lurked around corners and beneath the streetlights. Their wicked faces were blurry and dark, much like the minds which sat behind their pale shadowy eyes. There was nothing but negative space back there, buried deep in the recesses of their twisted skulls.

The night was chilly and cold, the sound of industry could be heard roaring in the distance. They were building and preparing for what was to come, for it could be any day now.

Smoke filled the air, it was thick and coarse upon the lungs. One deep breath might be all it took to send you into the great beyond.

JR2k aka Jackson Ryland releases a new EP of riotous Techno on Fixed Rhythms. Furious and fast paced with a frenetic energy and poise.

PREMIERE: JR2k - Negative Space VIP [Fixed Rhythms]

There was a voice inside his head which he couldn’t help but try to let go. It continued to tease and tickle his sensibilities. If only he were able to just wake up and end the dream.

The sun was shining outside as he gazed longingly from the window, he watched as the airplanes passed by overhead. Where they were headed nobody knew but he did wish that he too could fly.

The ceiling fan echoed overhead, distilling some sort of fake, fantastic plastic air which was barely swallowable. Perhaps everything outside was just a mirage, maybe this was still the dream.

Wake up…

Derek V Bulcke is set to release a new record via La Bonne Musique, a collection of fast paced, highly energetic cuts which will work wonders on the dancefloor in high pressure moments. The sort of hypnotic heat we have become accustomed to as the world spins ever more quickly.
